It seems that we have established (by the overwhelming proof of one
character :-) ) that your file is in Codepage 850, that your program uses
ISO-8859-1 and that you are using a lousy news client. That's two new facts
(I knew the third part already when I saw your first post :-) ).

I would not be surprised if there were Windows SDK functions for converting
between these two encodings.

If you don't find any, it will be very easy (if slightly tedious) to create
a lookup table and write a function around it based on the tables you find
by Googling for "ISO-8859-1" and "Codepage 850".
